Legendary photographer Gordon Parks poses for a self portrait in 1929, early in his career. Parks rose to prominence as a documentary photographer focusing on racial injustice and social issues in the United States. He went on to work with the American government, documenting poverty in the 1940's, exploring glamour photography, creating powerful photo essays for Life Magazine, and then took his talents to the world of film; directing the infamous Shaft.

"The project has been a labour of love and features some of the best DJs I know working today. I hope you enjoy watching it as much as we did making it.” - Mark Knight
